Q: How do you freshen musty carpet?

• <div><p>How you freshen a musty carpet depends on what&rsquo;s causing it to smell funky. Baking soda can soak up some smells, and vinegar is a natural deodorizer.

Q: How long should you stay off the carpet after cleaning?

• <div><p>After a carpet cleaning, it's important to give it time to dry before walking on it.

Q: Do you vacuum before carpet cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, you should always vacuum before cleaning your carpets to remove any dust or debris. If you hire a professional carpet cleaner, they&rsquo;ll typically do this for you. </p></div>

Q: Can room spray remove the smell of pee?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ve tackled the pee stain on the carpet, but that smell still lingers in the air. Yuck! Fortunately, you can use certain sprays to help remove the odor. A homemade baking soda spray, made with 1/4 cup of baking soda and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle, can help remove the smell of pee. You can also use an enzymatic cleaner directly on the pee stain to deodorize it.</p></div>
